“With the number of coronavirus cases continuing to grow and current CDC guidance indicating face coverings can help slow the spread of COVID-19, we believe requiring face coverings in our stores is another way we can do our part to help protect our communities,” spokeswoman Maria Brous said, per the Orlando Sentinel.
Publix joins a growing list of stores and businesses that are mandating face masks including Target, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Best Buy, Starbucks, Costco, Panera Bread, CVS, Dollar Tree, and Family Dollar.
